Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Spago hits you like the Bellagio fountains — impressive, a little overwhelming, and deliberately spectacular. We're talking 600 to 900 selections anchored by the holy trinity of France, California, and Italy, with named sommeliers on staff to actually help you navigate it. This is not a list assembled by a restaurant group's purchasing department — someone with a real point of view built this.
The California side reads like a greatest-hits compilation that actually holds up: Screaming Eagle, Opus One, Harlan Estate, Kistler, Peter Michael, Silver Oak, Stag's Leap — the classics are here and they're the real thing. France brings Château Margaux, Château Pétrus, and Domaine Leroy Burgundy, which signals the cellar is being taken seriously. Italy doesn't get shortchanged either — Sassicaia and Tignanello both appear, covering the Super Tuscan bases with authority. The gap, if there is one, is that the list skews heavily toward trophy bottles, and adventurous drinkers looking for grower Champagne or left-field regional picks may find the edges a bit thin.
Twenty to thirty-five by-the-glass options is a strong program for a fine dining room, and with two knowledgeable sommeliers on the floor, you're not getting poured whatever needs to move — you're getting a recommendation. Rotation appears active rather than static, which matters when you're ordering multiple courses and want to move through different pours without committing to bottles at these price points.
Sassicaia (Tenuta San Guido) 2021 — $295
At $295, Sassicaia is the most defensible bottle on the list. It's a world-class Super Tuscan that retails in the $150–180 range, so yes, there's a markup, but by Vegas fine dining standards this is practically charitable — especially compared to what they're charging for the Bordeaux and Napa cult cabs. Order this and feel smart.
Peter Michael Winery Chardonnay
Everyone fixates on the Screaming Eagles and Harlans, which means the Peter Michael Chardonnay gets overlooked. That's a mistake. It's one of the finest Chardonnays made in California, full stop — precise, mineral-driven, and a completely different register from the blockbuster reds dominating this list. Most tables walk right past it.
Pétrus 2020
At $4,200 a bottle, Pétrus is the kind of order that makes sense exactly once in your life, and probably not at a restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip. Retail on a young Pétrus runs around $3,000–3,500, so the markup is real, and a 2020 needs a decade in a proper cellar before it's showing its best. You're paying Vegas premium to drink something that isn't ready yet.
Dominus Estate 2020 + Prime dry-aged New York strip steak
Dominus is a big, structured Napa-Bordeaux blend with enough dark fruit and grip to go toe-to-toe with a properly dry-aged strip. At $380 it's not cheap, but it's the right call for a serious steak night — more interesting than reaching for the Silver Oak and more approachable right now than the Harlan.
Tuesday — Half-price wine night every Tuesday — a rare value play at a list with this much depth. Worth building a dinner reservation around.
The Bottom Line
Spago is the real deal — a Best of Award of Excellence list with the cellar depth and staff to back it up, even if the Strip location means you'll pay for the privilege. Tuesday's half-price wine night is legitimately one of the best deals in Las Vegas fine dining; plan around it.
· Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Strip House's all-by-the-glass format is smart for a Vegas crowd that wants to explore without committing, and the list has more personality than most hotel steakhouses — the Testamatta and the Lingua Franca Chardonnay prove someone made actual choices here. Prices skew high at the top end, but the $15–$25 tier offers genuine quality. Come for the steak, stay for the glass pours, and skip the Kosta Browne unless the night calls for it.

Summer House is doing more with its wine program than it has to, and in Las Vegas that deserves genuine credit. Fair prices, a thoughtful by-the-glass roster, and a few genuinely interesting picks — the Grüner and the Selbach Riesling especially — make this worth exploring. It's not a destination wine list, but it's a reliable one, and that's rarer on the Strip than it should be.

Hughes Center · Las Vegas · Brazilian Churrascaria
The real story at Fogo de Chão Hughes Center is the Monday-through-Thursday deal: South American bottles under $150 go at half price, all day, in both the dining room and bar. That's a meaningful discount at a format where a table can easily work through a full bottle alongside the picanha parade. If you're going to drink wine here — and you should — plan your visit around that window.

South Point Casino · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Silverado Steak House isn't trying to win any wine awards, and it doesn't need to — the list is fair, functional, and occasionally punches above its casino-floor weight class. If you're eating steak at South Point and want a solid glass without getting robbed, this list has your back; just stay away from the bottom shelf and head straight for the Davis Bynum or the Symmetry Meritage.

The Strip · Las Vegas · Japanese
Order the $21 glass of Kirinzan Junmai Ginjo, or the $50 Signature Flight if you want three saké side by side. If you prefer wine, the Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin at $62 by the Coravin glass is the pour to look for. Confirm availability and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted drinks list, not service, storage or markups.
The Strip · Las Vegas · Steakhouse
Try the $60 half bottle of Cristom Pinot Noir or ask about the $60 Kerner, the lowest full-bottle price, or order the Azelia Barolo at $270 with the Dry Aged New York. Confirm vintages and prices, since the list is undated. This unrated guide covers the posted wine list, not service, storage or retail markups.
Downtown Roswell · Roswell · American
Canton St. Social is a solid neighborhood restaurant in historic downtown Roswell, and the wine program appears to be built for exactly that — supporting a good night out without overcomplicating things. We don't have enough sourced wine data to tell you what to order, which means your best move is to ask your server what's pouring well that night and go from there. Worth a visit for the food and atmosphere; the wine list is a work in progress as far as our research goes.

· Worcester · American
The Boynton is a great neighborhood spot for a cold beer, a burger, and a game — and that's exactly what it should be. The wine program is along for the ride, not driving the car. If wine matters to you tonight, this isn't your destination; if you're here for the food and the vibe, order a beer and enjoy it.

Downtown Atlanta · Atlanta · American
Hard Rock Cafe Atlanta's wine list is a Lazy List by every measure — grocery store brands, steep markups, no specials, and a rotating staff with little incentive to know what's in the glass. If you're here for the memorabilia and the atmosphere, lean into a cocktail or a beer. If wine is non-negotiable, the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling or Columbia Crest Cab will get you through the night without regret.
